Chicago White Sox
Chris Murphy has thrown 3,309 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2026, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2026, they have relied primarily on their Cutter (89mph), Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Curve (77mph), also mixing in a Sinker (94mph) and Change (84mph). He also rarely throws a Slider (81mph).
In 2026, compared to other LHP:
Their cutter has heavy sink, has well above average velo and has strong cutting action. Their fourseam fastball generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is blazing fast and has less armside movement than typical. Their curve has sweeping glove-side movement, has a sharp downward bite and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their sinker results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo and has less armside run than typical. Their change dives down out of the zone, results in many more groundballs compared to other pitchers' changeups and is slightly firmer than usual. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2026) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders.
